I'm always proud to bring up RU's APR stats when I talk to my friends about my alma mater. Knock on wood, our program seems very clean, academics are stressed, and the athletes stay out of trouble and represent their families and university very well. (Also love the Don Bosco pipeline and hope the Big East gets a sweet TV deal with NBC.) Hoping our Penn St transfer fits in with the RU norm and succeeds both on the field and in the classroom. GREAT EXPECTATIONS.

Bleacher Report has a story that NBC has offered the Big East a nice TV deal which would allow them to show Big East - Notre Dame games all day, starting with the East Coast noon games and ending with the West Coast games at night. Looks like a good deal, with great exposure.

Big opportunity for the league to reinvent itself as "America's Conference," with teams in major TV markets coast to coast. One things seems to be for sure.....the new TV contract WILL be the biggest thing that's ever happened...and (OK, two things) could be the beginning of a major success story. Notre Dame will be BEGGIN' to get in.
